  • No Additive, Tribal Owned Tobacco?

    Jump

  • Both are Native-owned, but I don't know anything about additives and their websites don't seem to have any details:

    Signal Tobacco

    King Mountain

    I've never tried either, though. Signal Tobacco has a decent selection but King Mountain is just cigarettes. Maybe someone else knows about the additives situation.

    If you want just pure cured leaves, one non-Native tobacco business I do patronize is Whole Leaf Tobacco. Their stuff is about as unprocessed as you can get. They're also the only place I've found online that actual carries traditionally made & sourced perique. The only downside may be that they sell in kinda large quantities (I think my smallest order was 4 oz).

  • U.S. indigenous rights NGO Batani designated undesirable in Russia

  • For real. What kind of moron worries about what Russia thinks? Oh, right.

  • Announcement of US Support for the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

    Jump

  • I consider this news-worthy, but the timing feels very suspicious. I'm actually kind of surprised because there are numerous mentions of Democrats (particularly Obama) doing lots of things for the tribes. Given how much the current US regime attempts to control dissemination of objective facts, this feels like it carries a sinister subtext.

    I will likely sound like a conspiracy theorist, but this announcement hits me like "We are stating facts about some good things we (The U.S. as a whole) have done so we (Republicans in power) can argue we are not racist when we begin oppressing you for no reason like our other perceived enemies."

  • Crash Course Native American History Ep1 - Youtube

    Jump

  • As complicated as Indigenous history is in the US, I think this is a pretty clean, concise, and easy to understand primer.

    Disclaimer: I based the quality of this content on its face. While I don't know anything about Crash Course, at a glance they seemed reputable enough, so I posted it.

  • US DOE launches probe into New York DOE’s Native American mascot regulations

    Jump

  • I posted this, but it's obvious bullshit. It's the DoE defending the usual racist excuse of "if Natives didn't have denigrating mascots, nobody would remember them." Dumb as fuck, but thought I'd post it anyway.

  • The Frybread Question

    Jump

  • Thanks for sharing! I had read a little bit about the difficulties in attempting to retain the traditional language, so I wondered if there were other struggles similar to we're facing here in the US. I know how you feel about the cultural food thing. I was lucky enough to be around traditional food and I'll admit it's a little emotionally hard to see people holding up frybread as the default example of what they think of "Native American" food, especially given its history.

  • Amid Trump’s anti-DEI fervor, dozens honor Native vet Lori Piestewa

    Jump

  • To be frank, it's clear he hates non-whites enough that he'll definitely do it. He has no problems denigrating anything else we have, so I don't see why this would be an exception.

  • NBC Orders Comedy Pilot Set at Native American Community Center in Oakland

    Jump

  • This immediately makes me think of the Intertribal Friendship House in Oakland, which I'm guessing is a partial inspiration for the show.

  • List of Indian Country leases marked for termination by DOGE

    Jump

  • Absolutely. OKC IHS does tons of good for the Native community and is the only one in the area. The next closest from the OKC area would be El Reno (~45 min away), but it's small. Anadarko or Watonga would be next and they're about an hour away and they're small, too. Hearing that it was being shuttered to recoup $120K was infuriating, but I shouldn't have been surprised they were willing to sacrifice lives for what is less than the average cost of a single home in the metro.

  • What are Native American legends about owls?

    Jump

  • Those were both pretty cool reads. We have something similar to La Lechuza called a hatakchaya, which is a kind of witch. The Nahua associating owls with death is interesting, especially since they sound to be more positive than the stories I hear. For Choctaw, the owl is also closely associated with death in the sense they are considered to be harbingers. As you mentioned in a comment, there is actual differentiation. For us, the difference in what owl you see indicates things like the age of the person who will die. The one exception IIRC is the screech owl, which is seen as a sign of a murder has or will happen.

    Edit: Also, thanks for pointing out that they're climate change deniers. I definitely won't be posting any more articles from them.

  • What are Native American legends about owls?

    Jump

  • I'm Choctaw and we're from the Southeast United States (Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana), so owls are bad news. If you've ever watched the show "Reservation Dogs", there's a scene where the kids (I think they're Mvskoke/Creek) catch a glimpse of an owl and react in a typical way for kids raised traditionally: This scene (Youtube)
